Dear friends,
I was not able to update about my first trip to Kending last Sunday because everybody that went to Kending wanted to surprise our apartment mate, Billy, that we went to Kending that same weekend. However, I think it is appropriate to update now because any later and I'll forget what we did =D.

Last Sunday, I went with Joyce's family to Kending, the Southern peninsula of Taiwan. It was absolutely beautiful, although very windy. We began our trip at Hengchun, the town made famous by the movie Cape No. 7 (See earlier posts about this movie). Along the road, were various fruit, wine, egg, and other small stands (see below).

In the photos above (from left to right) you can see wax fruit (Lein Wu, my new favorite fruit), rice millet wine, and all sorts of duck/chicken eggs. Wax fruit tastes a bit like apple, except sweeter, juicer, and not as dense.

After we walked along the road with all these various stands, we went to the famous film spots of Cape No. 7 in Hengchun. If you've seen the movie, I will let you know that we went to Aga's house, the old postman's house, the elderly lady's house to whom the Cape No. 7 letters were directed, and the West gate. We also passed by a lot of the other film spots.

After visiting the film spots, we went to several scenic spots including Nanwan (pictured below).

We only spent one day in Kending, but I have over 200 pictures that you can view here. Just a warning, it's a long album...

Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taiwan! Thanks, Joyce for taking me and Kate =D
